The Rawha: Daily Guidance for Seekers with Shaykh Faraz Rabbani episodes
- 127 – Sincerity in the One Calling to AllahShaykh Faraz continues the text, “Letter to a Disciple” by Imam Ghazali, where he explains some key qualities of the sincere caller to Allah. The first quality is that they should avoid argumentation, for within argumentation lies much harm. When conveying religious knowledge their aim should be to call to Allah, rather than themselves or a group. Shaykh Faraz goes on to remind that calling to Allah (da’wa) is rooted in the Qur’an, hadith, and guidance of the scholars. This is the way of safety. He warns of the harm of putting on false airs. Rather, he mentions to seek Allah with sincerity and truthfulness. Then Imam Ghazali goes on to tell us what is a true reminder and admonition, and this requires attention. It is for the servant to remember the fire of the hereafter, and remember one’s own shortcomings in serving the Creator. He goes on to define what true preaching is to remind others to reflect of their shortcoming and blameworthy traits of self. It is to be touched by the fire of concern.
In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers. The text covered in this episode is Imam Ghazali’s “Letter to a Disciple” on his comprehensive advice to the seeker of knowledge.
The texts in the Rawha will be read in Arabic, translated, and commented upon briefly. This class is of benefit both for committed students of knowledge—particularly given the reading in Arabic—and for those simply seeking daily guidance, reminders, and inspiration in learning to live the light of Prophetic guidance.

- Sayyid al-Istighfar: The Foremost Way of Seeking Allah’s Forgiveness – Shaykh Faraz RabbaniIn this khutbah, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani reminds the believers that it is Allah who gives guidance. Out of His tremendous and unimaginable mercy, Allah has given us all kinds of means to seek and attain this guidance. One of those means is what Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to as sayyid al-istighfar, meaning the foremost ways in seeking Allah’s forgiveness. This formula of asking Allah for forgiveness answers many key questions on Islamic belief. Who is Allah? What Allah’s relationship to creation? What does one owe Allah Most High?The sayyid al-isitghfar is a lesson in affirming Allah’s absolute oneness (tawheed), affirming who is your Lord. It also helps us to realize everything that one receives is ultimately from Allah and Him alone.Text, transliteration and translation of sayyid al-istighfar can be found below.اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلا أَنْتَAllahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa Anta Khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana ‘ala ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, A’udhu bika min Sharri ma sana’tu, abu’u Laka bini’matika ‘alaiya, wa Abu’u Laka bidhanbi faghfirli fainnahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa antaO Allah, you are my Lord. There is no god but you. You have created me, and I am your servant—and I am upon Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the worst of what I have done. I fully admit to You Your blessings upon me, and I fully admit to You all my sins. So forgive me, for there is none to forgive sins but You.No one says this by day except granted paradise. No one says this by night except granted paradise.For more SeekersGuidance podcasts and podcast shows, visit seekersguidance.org/podcasts.Help Seekersguidance build a Global Islamic Seminary and spread the light of guidance to millions around the world by supporting us through monthly donation by going to https://seekersguidance.org/donate – your donations are tax deductible in the US and Canada.24 min
- Reflection from the Qur’an: The Followed and their Admirers – Shaykh Faid Mohammed SaidBismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem[And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship]. Those who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire. (Surah Al-Baqarah, 166-167)Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) described the Qur’an as a guide to the straight path; and the beauty of the Qur’an is that each ayah (verse) is beautiful and so much so that you cannot differentiate between the beauty of two ayahs!And the People of Qur’an, when they read and journey through the Qur’an, their skin shivers, as they learn, experience and become a part of something new each time they read and reflect on the Qur’an!In this world, people follow each other, look up to one another, enjoy the company of the other and follow their advice; hence there are two: the followed and their admirers. However, on the very Day that we will be made to account, people will be running away from one another, and those that were followed will disassociate themselves from their admirers; and the admirers will wish they had another chance to go back and disassociate themselves from the ones they had followed!Let this serve as a reminder to us all – let us not put ourselves in that position!Instead, let us connect to the Qur’an, as the greatest khair (blessing) is to live by, live with and to learn the Qur’an!Listen and #ShareTheNur! Allahumma salli alaa Nur.Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said9 min
- Why Do Manners Matter – Shaykh Faid Mohammed SaidBismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem“And indeed, You are the pinnacle of character” (Surah Al-Qalam, 4)Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) said the above verse with regards to His Beloved (sallallahu alayhi wasalam)!But have we ever asked ourselves: Why does character or manners matter? How can I relate to the qualities imbued by the Best of Creation (sallallahu alayhi wasalam)?In this first installment of its kind, “In Conversation with Shaykh Faid” presents a discussion on the topic of manners.Look out for further installments in this uncut and candid series, which will feature questions & answers, discussion and insights from Shaykh Faid. Listen and #ShareTheNur! Allahumma salli alaa Nur. Jummah Mubarak! Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said6 min
About The Rawha: Daily Guidance for Seekers with Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
From the publisher's feed
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged us to strive for uprightness by seeking assistance in the early mornings, late afternoons (al-rawha), and something of the depths of the night. From this tradition,…
the scholars, early and recent, made it a habit to read texts of religious guidance, briefly, in the late afternoon (rawha) time, and often termed such readings their daily “rawha.” The term refers to the late afternoon, but also to a time of rest from worldly toils, and reinvigoration of one’s spirit. In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers different texts and gives Daily Guidance for Seekers.
